Making diagnostic decisions or other decisions about the care
that a patient should receive can be difficult and time-consuming; it is for
this reason that many professionals rely heavily on the use of decision supportsystems in healthcare. While these systems can be incredibly beneficial, it is
important to understand that they are not without their faults. You must
recognize these faults, such as the fact that they cannot accurately determine every
decision that should be made for each patient.
Recognizing these faults also means doing something to
counteract them. It is important, for example, to use your own knowledge to
determine the accuracy of the result given by your decision support system and
to use alternative decision making methods as well. In general, decision
support systems are not yet highly advanced enough to be used as the sole means
of providing a diagnosis or other advice to a patient.
